Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 218 Another Promotion? (Please Subscribe)

Lin Rui then went on to explain the matter of Zhang Chen and others switching allegiances, but now it was Meng Weiyun's turn to be somewhat distracted.

She was unable to handle this matter personally and could only notify her senior brother, who served as the defense envoy of Sha Zhou, to take over.

This was because Meng Weiyun's internal injuries were severe, preventing her from seeing anyone.

In her years as a Heavenly Official, she had made countless enemies among the court and countryside. Once it became known that she was gravely injured and her vitality greatly reduced, her fighting power significantly weakened, there would be endless overt attacks and covert shots directed at her, thus staying out of the public eye was the best option for the time being.

However, Meng Weiyun personally wrote a letter, stamped with her official seal, not only addressing Lin Rui as her junior brother in the letter but also speaking of Zhang Chen and others with many words of consolation.

With this letter, Lin Rui could pacify and rally Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhili, preventing them from panicking and making foolish decisions.

"Junior brother, since the matter with Qin Yan's manor has been resolved, you won't be able to stay in Wang City Prefecture much longer."

Meng Weiyun's lips slightly curved upwards, "Spend the next few months cultivating diligently, perform well in your duties as the defense envoy, and wait for the news from the capital. I predict that within a few months, junior brother will certainly be promoted and enter the capital!"

Now that Lin Rui had entered under his master's tutelage, he was certain to be transferred to the capital for personal instruction and guidance.

And at a time when her master desperately needed people, how could he let such a capable and extraordinarily talented individual like Lin Rui linger idle here?

This was an incomparably sharp and unparalleled treasured blade, which needed to be used in the right place to show its value.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui exclaimed in surprise, thinking, being promoted again?

He was both surprised and reluctant.

Isn't it said that it's very difficult to get promoted within the imperial guards? He hadn't even warmed his seat as the defense envoy of Wang City.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

As one of the four major leaders of the prefectural city, within thousands of miles, apart from the Prefectural Governor, it was his words that carried weight.

Moreover, the security situation in Wang City Prefecture had begun to stabilize, the matter with Qin Yan's manor had been resolved, the demon dragon was no longer a threat, and the troubles with the Zhou family had been resolved too; the days ahead couldn't get any more comfortable.

All he needed to do now was to eliminate demons and exorcise evil spirits, and collect his share of the profits every month from Jing Port; life couldn't be more comfortable and leisurely.

Lin Rui had just started to enjoy the pleasures of being an official when Meng Weiyun suddenly spoke of a promotion?

But he had no way to refuse, he could only hope that Meng Weiyun and her disciples would arrange a good position for him, preferably one that allowed him to gain some extra benefits.

Seeing what was on his mind, Meng Weiyun gave a wry smile, "You just said you collected many weapons and remnants in Qin Yan's manor? The materials left by Qin Yan himself should be quite excellent; send these items over, and I can help you find a way to possibly craft a set of Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor for you before you enter the capital, but this will require a substantial amount of money, be prepared."

Lin Rui thought that this was not bad,

With the Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor, he could have the combat strength of the Sixth Realm in advance.

As for money, just Zhou Changgong's head alone could fetch him forty thousand taels of demon silver.

"And this Light Saint," Meng Weiyun looked at another head beside her, pausing for a moment before continuing with a firm voice, "The Light Holy Church is extremely troublesome. Once they entangle you, they cling like a disease to the bone, relentless until death. This is not something you can handle now. Leave this matter to me to deal with, and do not publicize it here to avoid attracting trouble."

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows, convinced he had not misjudged Meng Weiyun and Zhuang Mingyue; these two were good superiors.

As people are known by the company they keep, it was likely that their master would not be bad either.

Leaving the villa to return to the prefectural city, Lin Rui noticed Blood Blade looking at him with an unusual expression.

Lin Rui turned his head, puzzled, "What's wrong, Ying'er? Is there something amiss?"

"No," Blood Blade shook her head, her eyes filled with admiration, "I just feel that our master is really too powerful."

She didn't even know how to suitably describe her master.

Lin Rui was truly too cunning, and it was a deep, immense cunning at that!

Blood Blade knew this was a derogatory term and shouldn't be used to describe her master, but she couldn't help feeling this way from the bottom of her heart.

In front of Meng Weiyun, not only did he manage to clear his own name, but he even laid the groundwork for future 'contacts with Heavenly Demon'.

Who was Meng Weiyun? He was the third Divine Envoy's most valued and favorite disciple.

With his endorsement, Lin Rui, no matter how many Heavenly Demon artifacts he produced, wouldn't have to worry about accusations of colluding with the Heavenly Demon.

And in this matter of Qin Yan's mansion, everyone was overjoyed, except for Duan Pengxuan and Zhou Changgong, and of course, that dragon—

Lin Rui chuckled and said, "What's so great about what I did? This time it was really just luck, a slight mistake in any part, and it could have all been lost, I was just lucky."

Even if he did mess up, it would have just meant not getting the things in the mansion.

Lin Rui had a good attitude, their primary goal was to rescue Zhu Meng from her predicament, which was already accomplished, whatever came next was left to fate, they had done all they could.

"What a pity," Lin Rui immediately sighed deeply, "Ying'er, you must have heard what my senior sister said just now? I need to seriously cultivate these next few months, and gather some strength before going to the capital."

He needed to get back the 'Demon Blood Refining Pill' he had placed with Professor Han as soon as he turned around, so that Blood Blade could take it soon.

This kind of pill was for protective demons, not only could it condense demon blood and strengthen the Primordial Spirit, but it also allowed protective demons to further connect with the 'divine,' which is the abyssal will.

There were a total of seven pills; he wondered if they could help Blood Blade awaken another bloodline talent?

He himself too needed to strengthen as much as possible.

The imperial capital was beneath the Son of Heaven's feet, a land of divine fortune, full of masters.

Lin Rui and his servant's strength could dominate in Wang City and even be ranked among the top ten across the entire region of Shazhou.

But if they went to the imperial capital, they wouldn't be much stronger than ants at the feet of a herd.

It was only after Lin Rui returned to the city that he learned that the Prefectural Governor and his deputies had failed again in their encirclement of the demon dragon.

The good news was that the dragon was again seriously injured and couldn't cause trouble for a while; the bad news was that the demon dragon had made a long escape and its whereabouts were unknown.

Lin Rui was actually quite pleased when he heard that the dragon had escaped; he felt the reward of fifty thousand taels of demon silver calling out to him; but when he learned that the dragon had fled recklessly, not daring to even stay by the Tianxiang River and had vanished without a trace, he couldn't help feeling frustrated.

He sensed that he wouldn't be able to complete the bounty on the dragon anytime soon.

What a pity—

Lin Xi was very pleased to see their master and servant return safely.

She had already communicated with Lin Rui through messages, but seeing him in person still made her feel more grounded and assured.

That very night, after the matter of Qin Yan's mansion was concluded, Lin Rui's consciousness returned to the ninth base city.

At this moment, Lin Rui was unaware that deep beneath the sea, thirty-seven thousand miles from Wang City, in the grand temple of Guang Ming in the sea's depths, countless followers were stirring due to the changes in the 'Holy Thunder Calamity Fire'.
